The sky and the earth won't last forever, but my words will.

But they asked, "Where do you want us to prepare it?"

The Son of Man will die in the way that has been decided for him, but it will be terrible for the one who betrays him!"

But don't be like them. The most important one of you should be like the least important, and your leader should be like a servant.

Who do people think is the greatest, a person who is served or one who serves? Isn't it the one who is served? But I have been with you as a servant.

But Simon, I have prayed that your faith will be strong. And when you have come back to me, help the others."

Jesus told them, "But now, if you have a moneybag, take it with you. Also take a traveling bag, and if you don't have a sword, sell some of your clothes and buy one.

"Father, if you will, please don't make me suffer by having me drink from this cup. But do what you want, and not what I want."

Jesus told them, "But now, if you have a moneybag, take it with you. Also take a traveling bag, and if you don't have a sword, sell some of your clothes and buy one. Do this because the Scriptures say, ‘He was considered a criminal.' This was written about me, and it will soon come true." The disciples said, "Lord, here are two swords!" "Enough of that!" Jesus replied. Jesus went out to the Mount of Olives, as he often did, and his disciples went with him. When they got there, he told them, "Pray that you won't be tested." Jesus walked on a little way before he knelt down and prayed, "Father, if you will, please don't make me suffer by having me drink from this cup. But do what you want, and not what I want." Then an angel from heaven came to help him. Jesus was in great pain and prayed so sincerely that his sweat fell to the ground like drops of blood. Jesus got up from praying and went over to his disciples. They were asleep and worn out from being so sad. He said to them, "Why are you asleep? Wake up and pray that you won't be tested." While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came up. It was led by Judas, one of the twelve apostles. He went over to Jesus and greeted him with a kiss. Jesus asked Judas, "Are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?" When Jesus' disciples saw what was about to happen, they asked, "Lord, should we attack them with a sword?"

I was with you every day in the temple, and you didn't arrest me. But this is your time, and darkness is in control."

But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right side of God All-Powerful."

But they all kept on saying, "He has been teaching and causing trouble all over Judea. He started in Galilee and has now come all the way here."

Herod asked him a lot of questions, but Jesus did not answer.

He told them, "You brought Jesus to me and said he was a troublemaker. But I have questioned him here in front of you, and I have not found him guilty of anything that you say he has done.

But the whole crowd shouted, "Kill Jesus! Give us Barabbas!"

But they kept shouting, "Nail him to a cross! Nail him to a cross!"

Pilate spoke to them a third time, "But what crime has he done? I have not found him guilty of anything for which he should be put to death. I will have him beaten with a whip and set free."

As Jesus was being led away, some soldiers grabbed hold of a man from Cyrene named Simon. He was coming in from the fields, but they put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus.

But the other criminal told the first one off, "Don't you fear God? Aren't you getting the same punishment as this man?

We got what was coming to us, but he didn't do anything wrong."
